Master Clar ence Ellis returned with them from Portland Tuesday afternoon and will visit in Monmouth for a while. Joe Craven brought in a brace of tomatoes this week that are as fine as any raised anywhere. Large and smooth, they were a delight to look upon. Mr." Craven says that Dr. Bowersox deserves some of the credit for this product as he discov ered and imported the seed from Linn county. Linn county may have a few things to brag about but we doubt if it has many finer gar dens than the one over which Uncle Joe presides. There was no meeting of the com mon council last Tuesday night al though it was the regular meeting night. Two of the councilmen, J. A. Riddell and D. B. Stump were absent from the city with their families spending a vacation at the sea shore and there was no quorum An adjournment was accordingly taken to Tuesday of next week. C. C. Mulkey disposed of his business interests in Monmouth last week and left Monday morning for Brighton, in Tillamook county, where he will cook for a logging company. He makes the change in the hope of benefitting his health which has not been good and which he hopes the outdoor air will build up again. Mrs. Cornelius took ov er the bakery business and will op erate the same. Mr. Mulkey ex pects to return to the city when the war is over and regards the move as temporary. Messrs. and Mesdames A. J. Hal ey, Ira C. Powell,. W. A. Wood and J. F. McDonald were among the thousands who heard Billy Sunday in his Salvation Army address at Salem Sunday. They had to go early and it took some persistance to get a seat as many hundreds of people were left outside the build ing, unable to get in, but they re port it -was worth while. Billy stirred things up all right. Some of the Monmouth party attended services in Salem before the meeting. The road work of Polk county has been concentrated in the vicin ity of Monmouth for the past few weeks where the three trucks have been engaged in graveling roads south of this city. The graveling of the new cut off to Dallas is to be left until wet weather, The trucks are proving a good investment for the county. They save $40 a day over the cost of handling by team and in addition, spread the gravel more evenly and are better able to do the work when the necessity de mands'it. W, A, Stewart .of Culdesac, Ida ho attended the session of the Grand Army in Portland last week and then came down to Monmouth for a visit with his brother, N. S. Stewart whom he had not seen . be fore in over thirty years. Mr. Stewart carries with him some rel ics which he values highly. One is a reprint on wall paper of the fam ous newspaper which Grant's men found ready to be issued when they entered Vicksburg on the occasion of the fall of the city, and includes the "finis" which the Union soldiers added to the bottom of the sheet.
